Archides Architect

Our office is tucked away on the first floor at F-7/575 along Batala Road in Kashmir Avenue. It’s easy to miss if you aren't looking for the sign. We’ve been up here for a bit, and the stairs are starting to feel a little steep after a long day of site visits. It’s a modest space, nothing too flashy, but it works for what we need. Most of the time, the rooms are filled with the hum of computers and the smell of old paper. We focus on the practical side of architecture here. We spend hours looking at site maps and trying to figure out the best way to use the space people have. It’s not always glamorous, especially when you’re dealing with plumbing layouts or structural beams, but it’s the work we chose. We get a lot of people from the local area coming by to ask questions about their own building plans. We don't mind a bit of a chat over a cup of tea. It helps us understand what folks actually need instead of just guessing. Being on Batala Road means we’re right in the middle of things, which makes it easy to get out to projects. We aren't trying to be the biggest office around. We just want to make sure the stuff we design actually works for the people living in them. It's just us, working away and keeping things practical.
